Projection of Intel’s Financial Performance in 2022

Investors always attach great importance to companies’ development. As a long-established and world-famous high-tech corporation, however, Intel's recent performance has raised the widespread concern of the public. Our paper focuses on predicting and analyzing Intel's future financial performance virtually based on its past financial index and future plan. We collect Intel’s quarterly financial index from 2017 to 2021 and conduct logarithmic processing for each variable. Then we establish a regression model for each indicator. To be specific, we build non-linear regression for revenue and add control variables for net income, and others are based on a time series model with one-period lag. After that, we use the results to predict Intel's financial situation in 2022. Then, we analyze through traditional financial indicators: current ratio, assets liability ratio, accounts receivable, ROA, and net interest rate. We find out that, under Intel's current situation and future plan, Intel will have good solvency and strong risk tolerance. However, its profitability will grow slowly. Therefore, we agree that Intel should keep on expanding its investment while declining dividends. Finally, we give our suggestion on its financial management and product innovation.
